how to install the 1 Witcher?

[totry]

Ok,moi j'ai installé lemjeu ensuite j'ai installé la patch 1.5 et c'est tout.
Est-ce qu'il me manque d'autre chose? si oui quoi?

Voudrais-tu mexpliquer comment toi tu l'as installer? svp.

[crazy_dave]

Pourtant quand je l'installe l'intro ce déroule très bien,mais apres l'intro fini,c'est la que l'éecran devien noir,j'ai juste le curseur du jeu que je vois.

Et oui j'aimerrais bien savoir comment upgrader mon Wine j'ai tous les fichiers dans mon dossier "téléchargement" mais je ne sais pas quoi faire avec.

Quelle version de la Witcher avez-vous? GOG.com?

Which version of the Witcher do you have? GOG.com?

J'ai le 1er,la pochette est rouge avec le logo.

All I did was install the 1.5 patch at that's it. Was there something I missed? If so, what?

Would you explain to me what you have installed?
----

J'ai la version du Witcher de GOG.com (Witcher Enhanced Edition v1.5). Et puis j'utilize "Winetricks" pour installer "DirectX 9 .dlls". Aussi le jeu installe le "virtual c library" (Je pense).

I have the GOG.com version of the Witcher. And then I used Winetricks to install DirectX .dlls. Also the game installs virtual c library (I think).

[totry]

moi je n'ai pas la version Witcher Enhanced Edition.
C'est seulement The Witcher.

[crazy_dave]

moi je n'ai pas la version Witcher Enhanced Edition.
C'est seulement The Witcher.

Me I don't have the Witcher Enhanced Edition. It's just The Witcher.

C'est possible que ca c'est la probleme, mais je crois que non. Je crois que le patch 1.5 rend tous les version egalite pour le fonction de le jeu. Il ya un "bug report" ou les peuples decrivent la exactement meme chose que vous, mais c'etais pour les versions de Wine anciennes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15904

Est-ce que vous utlize un "no cd crack"? Ca c'est possible une probleme ... Vous pouvez essayer d'acheter Le Witcher de GOG.com (il n'y a pas les DRM et ils ont "fair price" alors vous payez $10 en Euros). Je ne peux pas
garantir que la version du GOG.com va marcher mieux mais il est la version que j'utilise. Au premiere telechargez les .dlls directx 9 depuis vous avez besoin les .dlls pour tous les versions du Witcher.

http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_witcher
http://www.gog.com/en/support/website_h ... ing_promos

"It's possible that is the problem, but I don't think so. I believe that patch 1.5 makes all versions equal for the functioning of the game. There is a bug reprot where people describe the exact same thing as you, but it is for former versions of Wine.

Do you use a no cd-crack? That is possibly the problem. You could try buying the Witcher on GOG.com (there is no DRM and they have a fair price package so you pay $10 in Euros). I cannot guarantee that the GOG version will work better, but it is the version I use. First, download the DirectX 9 .dlls since you need the .dlls for all versions of the Witcher.

[crazy_dave]

moi je n'ai pas la version Witcher Enhanced Edition.
C'est seulement The Witcher.

Jouez-vous en "windowed" mode ou "fullscreen"?

Vous devriez jouer en fullscreen. C'est possible que ca c'est le problem! De le "bug report":

Find user.reg, set Fullscreen=1 and relaunch the X terminal (restart your computer).

Essayez ca!

Do you play the game in winowed or fullscreen mode? You should play the game in fullscreen. It is possible that is the problem. From the bug report:

Try that!

[totry]

J'ai essayer un crack 1.4.5 et ca ne marche pas.
J'ai essayer la patch 1.5 et ca ne marche pas non plus.
Lorseque je vais dans Wintricks j'ai regardé pour voir si il y avait bien Direct9.dll et oui il l'avait,j'ai aussi installé Devenum et Dixdian.
Mais ca ne marche pas non plus.

Je ne sais pas toi mais moi quand j'incere le dvd dans mon lecteur ce n'est pas un format DVD que je vois c'est plutot une feuille de papier avec le nom de The Witcher écris dessous.

[totry]

oui je suis en mode full screen

[crazy_dave]

merde

Je ne sais pas ... les seul suggestions que j'ai maintenait sont d'essayer d'upgrader WINE comme vous voulais et puis si ca ne marche pas, acheter la version du GOG mais vous ne devriez pas avoir a faire ni un ni l'autre. Je suis confuse.

I don't know ... the only suggestions I have now are to try to upgrade Wine like you wanted to and then if that doesn't work, buy the GOG version but you shouldn't have to do either. I'm confused.

[totry]

J'ai installé la version de Wine 1.3.23 via les depots PPA, et ca ne marche pas non plus,je ne sais plus quoi faire.

Bonjour Totry!

I couldn't quite make out what you meant by "Excuse me there is no longer than i work with". Are you just saying that you only have so much time for this? Rephrasing that would be appreciated. I care about what you say, and want to know what it is.
I'm a Linux Mint 11 64-bit user as well! What a coincidence! To upgrade your WINE in Linux Mint, you do it the same way you would in Ubuntu.
First, hold down Ctrl, Alt, and "t" all at the same time for a brief moment to bring up a terminal. First type in "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" (without the quotes) and then hit enter. Next type in "sudo apt-get update" (without the quotes) and then hit enter. Wait for that to finish. Next type in "sudo apt-get install wine1.3" (without the quotes) and then hit enter. It may be a good idea to type in "sudo apt-get update" again like before to refresh it. You can now type in "exit" (without the quotes) and then hit enter to close the terminal, or hit the X in the corner.
Here is an explanation of what the above was: first you added the location of the WINE online installation files to Mint's list of locations of online installation files for various programs. Online installation files like that for a program are called a "repository". If a program's repository location is in Mint's list of repositories, then simply typing "sudo apt-get install [name of program]" will find, download, and install that program without you having to open an Internet browser, search, and go through an installer. And unlike Windows, the newly installed program will be ready to use without having to restart. A PPA is an online Personal Package Archive. So "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" was sudo, for administrative rights, then add-apt-repository, because you want to add a repository location to Mint's list of such locations (the "apt" is because apt is the program used to install through a repository), and the "ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" is the online location. "sudo apt-get update" refreshes the apt program and makes it aware of new repository locations that you added that it may not have noticed you added yet.
The above method will always get you either the latest version of WINE or the version just "one" behind the latest, which is still pretty good. The reason why it doesn't always give you THEE latest version is because it takes a while for the Ubuntu WINE packagers to compile and package the newest WINE into an online PPA.
If you always want to have THEE LATEST WINE, then you will need to download the newest WINE source code when it comes out and compile from source.

Cheers,
Jake

I installed Wine 1.3.23 by PPA deposits and that doesn't work either, I don't know what to do.

Juste pour m'assurer que je comprends votre situation, est-ce que Wine lui-meme encore marche? - les autres jeux/programmes en Wine qui marchait avant l'installation de la version nouvelle du Wine encore marchent? - mais Le Witcher ne marche pas?

La dernier solution que je peux suggerer est essayer la version du Witcher du GOG.com. Desole. Je suis confuse. Le jeu doit marcher!

Just to ensure that I understand your situation, does Wine itself still work? - the other games/programs in Wine which worked before the installation of the new Wine version still work? - but the Witcher doesn't work?

The last solution that I can suggest is to try the GOG.com version of the Witcher. Sorry. I am confused. The game should work!

I guess you already figured out how to install the latest WINE by the time I responded. I started that reply the night before last, left it, then came back to it.
But have you installed The Witcher since you updated WINE, or did you only update WINE? You should delete your .wine folder now that you have the latest WINE (save anything you want to keep), let it make a new one, and install The Witcher using the new WINE in accordance to how the AppDB does it:

witcher settings:1280x960 windowed, high settings.

registry:
DirectDrawRenderer: opengl
OffscreenRenderingMode: fbo
PixelShaderMode: enabled
StrictDrawOrdering: disabled
UseGLSL: enabled
VertexShaderMode: hardware
VideoMemorySize: 1024

NOTES: game seems to use only 1 core of my cpu. UseGLSL enabled gives me all the beauty of the graphics but framerates are below 15 fps at some places, even when graphics turned down but GLSL enabled. Without GLSL game runs smooth as butter but graphics look really bad, lightning has too much brightness and shadows are too dark. Game also needed d3d9_36.dll to work.

I know you don't have the Enhanced Witcher, only the normal one, but I wonder if the 1.5 patch makes normal Witcher become "enhanced". Even if it doesn't, the above tips might help...as well as the WINE upgrade.

Cheers,
Jake

Bonjour Jake,ce que je voulais dire par: "there is no longer than i work with"
si je traduit "c'est que ca ne fais pas longtemps que je travaille avec Wine"

Suite au message *52 que tu m'a écrit est-ce que je fais toute ces operations avant d'installer Wine ou après?.

[crazy_dave]

Bonjour Jake,ce que je voulais dire par: "there is no longer than i work with"

I think a better translation would be "It has not been long that I have worked with Wine" or "I haven't worked with Wine for very long."

Suite au message *52 que tu m'a écrit est-ce que je fais toute ces operations avant d'installer Wine ou après?.

The first post is what you should do to install Wine correctly. The last one is what you should do after you install Wine - that is the Wine parameters for the Witcher - use Wine's regedit for that.

Pas de problem.

Ca message du Jake, c'est pour upgrader WINE, si vous deja l'upgradez correctement, puis vous pouvez ignorer ce message.

That post of Jake's, that is for upgrading WINE, if you have already upgraded it correctly, then you can ignore this post.

ok,excuse me for my english but i will do the best.
First this is a link of my machine:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/Te ... peId=12454

Can i play to The Witcher with that?

Second i had download the code source of the version 1.3.20,and i put the folder /HOME/download/.

I want to know how to install this folder, can you help me,and take your time step by step please.If you want i can show you a picture with Imageshack.

No, I don't think that machine is going to be able to play the game. You have an integrated GPU (that is probably intel) and a CPU that isn't very good either. At the very least you are going to need to buy a discrete graphics card, preferably a nvidia card.

Well he has an AMD CPU w/ presumably AMD integrated graphics which are supposedly better than Intel's. That said, I can find no mention of graphics on the machine and even on my machine with a discrete graphics card albeit a mobile discrete graphics card, The Witcher 1 can have choppy framerates at times in Wine due to the performance reduction. Unfortunately, ultimately, I am forced to agree that it is unlikely the Witcher 1 will run smoothly on his machine under Wine.

However, it is not impossible. To make sure, you should e-mail CD Projekt Red support for The Witcher 1 and ask them about their minimum requirements.
